It's a Rollercoaster some very high ups and some very low downs. Tragedy is a hard thing to pull off because no one wants to be sad but when done right it's bone chilling. Trauma as well is another uncomfortable thing to write about however it creates such strong emotions.The author of this book has a very good understanding of both of these things as well as some strong setup work you really aren't ready for. If you can't get through how tough it is at some parts just remember it is always darkest before dawn. Going into it if your new get your tissues ready because your about to tackle a beast. Just remember these key things. Ansel of Hydral isn't a good person in fact he is a bas***d but one you'll empathize with once you learn how deep rooted some emotions can run. He'll never tell a lie to the main heroine Seraphina. In a world built on lies and malice, his words to her have never been a lie. That being said if she only asked the right questions... If by chance you're still on the fence about trying it then... what I did was I listened to it while at work or working out for the free chapters, you'd really lose nothing while waiting for other books your reading get updated. That's how it started for me and even when I was about to stop I thought to my self yeah its uncomfortable and yeah it hurts to listen to some things... But what are strong wills with out this development, the true enemy of this story isn't something that can willfully be beaten, it's truly a terrifying concept that can't be beaten like a lot of other stories set up. this is a fight that goes far deeper then oneself. Only the truly mad can come out on the otherside of accepting the reality given to you... For a brighter tomorrow.and one last note from me, it's definitely not an isekai. I'm beyond tired of this trope and I miss a fantasy worlda with fantasy settings. now alot its just gamerish with a system. While Ansel of Hydral gets spotted memories from another world they aren't complete and he doesn't let those memories do more then act as a script that MUST NOT be followed under any circumstances. I really just missed story telling like this.

Can you give some recommendations for free work(if possible preferably workable on Android mobile) of fantasy(having vampires, etc) or mystery Romance Dating VN because I tried some of apps of "Genius Studio Japan Inc." but they all have money dependency in order to progress forward in story 😭 while other popularities I couldn't find them since majority of work atleast in Android apps seem to be theirs So I have never till now been able to indulge in a single VN till now 😔😭

I've never looked into "free" VNs before, but if I could give you a recommendation I'd say Arknights? it's a moblie game with the story done in VN format, after chapter 6 the story gets very long, I think chapter 9 was quoted to have over 200k words and its getting longer. I get my VNs from steam if i found something interesting enough. going back to Arknights for a second though it took me around 2 hours to fully read through chapter 8 and i'm still looking for time to read the rest lol

200k? that almost seems like one volume of novel rather than chapter from all angles 😂

When it comes to the Villain genre, what comes to mind for everyone? Taking down the so-called protagonist? NTR? The villainous character who only appears in the background? That's right, they're popular (and I love reading them xD) in mainstream storytelling, but I can't help but feel that they only satisfy certain base desires. After finishing such stories, all that remains is an indelible sense of emptiness. The so-called rebellion against fate in some books is just a gimmick, a flimsy initial motivation that the anxious transmigrator forgets after a few chapters, overshadowed by the looming sword of Damocles. The story then devolves into a traditional isekai narrative and is eventually forgotten by readers. (no offence!) These stories feel unreal, and they are boring because we all know that fate is not something easily defied. All my bravado about controlling my own destiny changes nothing. Defying fate requires day-to-day dedication, intense contemplation, and unwavering determination — just like what the protagonist, Ansel, does in this book (shameless me~). Defying fate is a form of romanticism, but what is even more romantic than defying fate alone is when "I" invite "you" to defy fate together, as Ansel hopes for with Seraphina. Undeniably, speaking objectively, Ansel is not a good person. He tramples upon the dignity of others (poor Seri), resorts to any means necessary, disregards life, all for the sake of achieving his goals. However, his occasional vulnerability and struggles in front of Seriphina add a touch of humanity to him, while the burden of his destiny and the actions he undertakes give him the colors of a tragic hero. I believe that such a villainous character should be charismatic! While creating this character, I unconsciously empathize with him, attempting to show the implied justifications behind his villainous acts (which aren't really that bad since he only persecutes villains and Seri LOL). It's like Sephiroth(from Final Fantasy). After deciding on this permeating sense of loneliness, I added a romantic element to the story. If you put yourself in Ansel's shoes, you would long for a companion to share secrets with, someone like the character played by Seraphina (yes me shameless again~). Regarding the portrayal of Seraphina, how should I put it? In this type of story, I think she should be a rare character who maintains her dignity and significance as a protagonist xDDD. The first part of the story revolves around her growth. The hardships and misfortunes she experiences are directed by Ansel, but they are also the malice of fate. Everything Ansel does is to inform her of the truth and make her his ally in the fight against fate. Their relationship elevates the essence of the story, and in turn, the essence of the story etches their bond. A confession more profound than "I love you" is inviting you to join me in defying the destiny of this world. What's more romantic than one person defying fate is the two of us defying fate together.

I normally don't review until the novel is completed, but the 1st volume of this novel was so good that it deserves his own review . all were perfectly executed. The minor flaws on world building are excusable since it is the first volume where you can't put all the details and explain everything. Aside from that, you have a good main character that interacts with the world and other characters with his own sense of self and values, and you have an extremely good novel.I only hope that at the end of the novel, i can come here and write that all this goodness kept until the end.

Probably the best novel I've read recently. I won't lie, came here to scratch the junk-food novel urge after seeing the title, but found amazing characters and an intriguing story. Grammar is good and characters actually develop. Highly recommend reading this novel. Keep it up author.

It's a well-written novel with a decent main character and world-building is okay as well. Just that Seraphina is one of the most irritating characters ever. Mc ignores her abuses etc, and forgives her betrayal.. And generally act like a doormat in front of her. From the author's synopsis and comment in reviews, I thought his mc would be different and a nice villain and he is to some extent but that all fade away in front of the retard fmc Seraphina, she's dumb, and has a typical violent tsundere character but without love only abuse. It's a good read but I can't stand such characters and mc's who became door-mats for them

As the story is just beginning there's not much to say. A hidden gem would be the correct way of wording it as it is a novel of excellent quality (For now) but I'm sure that the author knows what he's doing so that's it😅.Hoping the author continues this way and keeps it up

I have to say this is one of the few novels that I've liked the most so far, with the world revolving around our protagonist who is a villain, his manipulaton techniques used to tame the heroines and finally the writing style that shift from time to time, in two words it's a “Unrefined Gem” I hope this novel is completed.

The System Awakens: Rise of the Champion

[The System has arrived on your habitable planet, known as ‘Earth.’] [In five seconds, monsters from countless realms will invade Earth.] [Remaining Time: 5 seconds.] [You can now view your attributes, talents, abilities, and skills by simply thinking about them.] [Kill monsters, and you might survive.] “Monsters?” Damian’s breathing quickened as the pain in his chest grew sharper. On the day of the Awakening, humanity was forced to defend against an invasion of countless monsters from the towers that connected realms across the multiverse. While billions of people died helplessly, billions more seized the opportunities hidden behind the horrors spilling out of the gates. Leveling up, growing stronger, awakening talents, learning supernatural skills, changing one's very race, and even achieving immortality all became possibilities. But for Damian, who was suffering from a sickness that would kill him within a few years, the Awakening was a curse. While other humans awakened powerful talents, hunted monsters, and evolved, Damian remained talentless, a liability and a burden the awakened had to carry. Damian never wanted to be seen as weak or useless, but what could he do? He was dying. If only he had awakened a talent or at least possessed a stronger body, he might have been able to level up and cure his sickness. But he couldn’t. All that would change when a mysterious figure set him on a path that would lead him to his true destiny. Witness the rise of a warrior who would make countless men tremble in fear. Witness the rise of a monster who would force every race, every being, and every existence to kneel. Witness the rise of the Champion.

Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

In a world where summoners wield the power to call forth vampires, elves, angels, demons, and all humanoid creatures from across the realms, Nathan found himself unable to summon beings except from beasts. However, those beasts are not ordinary beasts. They are divine beings who once stood at the same level, if not higher, than the legendary creatures the world ever knew. Casting his gaze to the left, Nathan sees numerous summoners accompanied by the likes of demon kings, archangels, vampire progenitors, and other legendary beings. Turning to the right, a massive army of alien symbiotes is waiting to attack. There was no fear in his eyes, because standing on his left is a majestic wolf who managed to kill a god, the legendary eight-headed serpent coils on his right, above him is the bird who is glowing like the sun, and behind him is a dragon that once gnawed the roots of the world tree. “Let the war begin.”

The Author's POV

The person whom the world revolves around. The person who defeats all of his opponents, and ultimately gets the beautiful girl. The sole existence all villains fear. That is the protagonist. What about me? As a failed author who had only one success throughout his whole career, I had reincarnated into my late novel. "This is it" I thought, as I tightly clenched my fist. Did I just get reincarnated in my own novel? Is this where I reincarnate in a novel and become the protagonist? No. Sadly it's not that kind of novel, as I reincarnated as a mob. The world doesn't revolve around me. The girls don't come flocking towards me. The cheat items don't come to me. "Phew" I let out a sigh of relief. "Thank god I'm not the protagonist" I joyfully shouted as tears streamed down my cheeks. Wait, are you curious as to why I don't want to be the protagonist? I did forget to mention the most important thing when I was describing a protagonist. That is... They are calamity magnets. I just died. If I learned something from that, it's that it really isn't a pleasant experience. If possible let me live a long stable life. Thank you, whoever reincarnated me. I would later come to regret these words... ======== Reader Disclaimer : Please read the *Read before reading novel* in synopsis. ======== Credit to _oinkchan for helping me find the previous novel cover Credit to Rengoku for his amazing edit of the new cover. ======== Discord : https://discord.gg/FNAKgfyky4 Patreon : https://www.patreon.com/TheAuthorPOV
